Number 1 ranked Kentucky vs the NCAA competition hopefuls Georgia? Sounds like a recipe for a blowout, particularly as Kentucky just regained that coveted No. 1 spot on the standings for the first time in the prior 2 months. Whilst the Wildcats are on top of the standings and enjoying an eleven game win streak, the Georgia Bulldogs can best be termed sporadic to date in the year.

The Wildcats are 19-1 and 5-0 in the SEC. They are coming off of a especially unpleasant game at home vs Alabama, where they garnered their prior 15 points at the foul line. Thankfully, the squad is fairly good from the free-throw line, where they made 23-of-29 to hold onto the win, 77-71. That win, combined with Syracuse dropping their first game of the season, put Kentucky back on top. Their recent eleven game win streak is furthermore their greatest since going 19-0 during the 2009-2010 season.

Georgia is going to have its hands full facing the Wildcats on Tuesday, January 24. The Georgia Bulldogs garnered an invite to the NCAA competition for the first time in the last three years in 2011, but 2 of their main competitors advanced to the NBA. Since losing them, Georgia has lost a lot of their offensive touch, scoring simply 61.9 ppg with a pathetic 39.9 percent field-goal percentage. The Georgia Bulldogs are now 10-9 overall and 1-4 in the SEC.
With the Wildcats averaging 79.5 ppg, and the Georgia Bulldogs at 61.9, it’s not surprising the sports book is favoring Kentucky by 12 points. It may be a bargain taking the Cats, as the game might wind up very easily as a 15- or 20-point blowout. The total is established at 129, but and I would expect this game to go under the total. If Kentucky plays even a little bit of defense, the Bulldogs’ offense could be effectively shut down all evening.
